MANGUPURA, Bali – On Tuesday, January 21, 2024, Deputy Regent Ketut Suiasa welcomed a team from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) of the Republic of Indonesia at a formal entry meeting held in Room Nayaka I at Puspem Badung. The meeting, led by Heru Tarsila, the Head of BPKP Bali Representative, focused on the evaluation of planning and budgeting for the Badung Regency government in the 2025 fiscal year.
Objective of the Meeting
The primary objective of the meeting was to synchronize the policies and programs of the Badung Regency government with those of the central government. In his remarks, Deputy Regent Suiasa emphasized the importance of this synchronization, particularly in light of President Prabowo Subianto’s vision and the nationwide programs slated for execution over the next five years. Suiasa noted, “This synchronization is essential for completing national programs,” emphasizing the need for regional programs to align with the overarching strategic goals established at the national level.
Collaborative Efforts
The entry meeting was attended by several officials, including Inspector Luh Suryaniti and representatives from the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) and the Regional Finance and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD). Suiasa expressed gratitude for the early evaluations being carried out, which have set a collaborative tone for the activities going forward. He stated that the alignment of these activities, particularly those large-scale programs initiated by the central government, requires careful planning and a solid support structure from the local government.
Suiasa elaborated on the significance of comprehensive evaluations and the necessity of building a systematic approach to intricate government programs, exemplifying this with the government’s initiative to provide free nutritious food (MBG). He underscored that such initiatives demand a robust and methodical framework supported by the local administration.
Insights from BPKP
Heru Tarsila, head of BPKP Bali, conveyed that in alignment with President Prabowo Subianto’s directives, BPKP has been tasked with evaluating the draft of the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2025. He mentioned that the BPKP Bali Representative would likewise conduct evaluations across all provinces, regencies, and cities, ensuring comprehensive engagement without sampling. Discussions would heavily involve Bappeda and the Inspectorate to optimize the technical execution of these evaluations.
Tarsila expressed hopes that through the evaluations of local government planning and budgeting, discrepancies in synchronizing the programs laid out in RPJMN with the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) could be minimized. The discussions touched on critical areas like education, health, poverty alleviation, stunting, and tourism, among other essential programs. He emphasized the importance of extensive coordination between BPKP, local government, and relevant Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) to achieve their goals effectively.
This meeting signifies a proactive step in ensuring that the government of Badung aligns its initiatives with national priorities, aiming for a more integrated approach to development in the region as they move closer to the 2025 budgetary year.
